The Lost Self
from Meditation and Beyond · host Elliott S. Dacher, M.D.
Send us Fan Mail Looking back, the first "self" that I lost was in medical training. It was the loss of a healthy personal self. Entangled in the mechanics and pressures of my medical education, I forgot my most basic human needs. I forgot to take time for the simple joys of life and the basics of self-care. I was to discover years later that, unknown to me at the time, my deeper true self was lost even earlier in life. That self, I was to discover, was my essential self. Over time, I slowly realized that I could not live a full life without living from that foundational center of my being That’s what propelled me toward the study and practice of meditation – a yearning to reclaim , with stability, the unchanging essence of my life, this more primary and vital lost self.
